Hi my name is Alisha and I don’t want to enter in this competition to compete however
I would love you to consider Rennovating my Best Friends home. She has been
My friend since I was 5 she is unique and one of a kind but she has had a hard life
Only at the age of 28. She feel in love and met her soul mate bought a house
That they were going to build together to make their home but he was diagnosed
With cancer it was too late and sadly he passed. She is sill living in this
House they bought in Broken Hill untouched and it is a builder/designer dream to work on.I love my friend and I think
This will help heal her heart and let go
Please consider my request even though we are in the middle of nowhere in Broken Hill
It could make for great television coming to such a historic town!
